Brooks: Guests go wild at charity wine auction

Willow Park Wines & Spirits 24th Charity Wine Auction was a great success, raising funds for six cancer organizations. Hosting the fab jungle-themed fundraiser were co-chairs Scott and Suzanne Henuset. The dynamic couple were recently named one of the Top 40 Under 40 by Avenue Magazine.

Over the years, the Vintage Fund has donated more than $4.5 million to myriad charities enriching the lives of many. And this year’s event raised more than $310,000 to continue the fund’s wonderful work. The live and silent auction items garnered top dollars this night and many of the live items would not have been available for purchase anywhere else. Where else could one snag an exclusive invitation-only opportunity to attend the Premier Napa Valley Wine Auction? Or the chance to run the Bordeaux Marathon with the team from Chateau Angludet? With more than 100 silent auction items and 28 experiences in the live auction, it’s not surprising the event was an enormous success. Fabulous food selections from some of the city’s top restaurants and killer entertainment from Vancouver’s Famous Players Band ensured a memorable evening for all.
